Numrich Arms has their parts lists for most all the M. 94 variations on their website. Just cross reference the parts you need from those lists by model number.

While the crescent style might be easier to lever and reload without taking it from the shoulder, it's not nearly as comfortable to shoot as the carbine or shotgun style buttplate. Both the latter spreads the recoil over a wider area of the shoulder, and as heavier calibers with greatly increased re...

I understand that the McClellen (sp) saddles were very uncomfortable. Anyone here with first hand knowledge? My timeline guess would be just a little earlier, say 1880's. I'd say the pistol butt belongs to a Colt SAA. Most likely a poor country boy getting away from the farm. Ain't no fat on that bo...

Collectors firearms prices kind of take my breath away.

Years ago the rule of thumb was around 1500-1600 fps for non-gas check bullets. It seems nowdays around here 1700 seems to be where to start keeping an eye on leading.
Casting is fun, cheap, compared to jacketed, and a way to more fully enjoy your hobby.

I was almost 7 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I remember my dad and the neighbors talking about what this attack meant. We lived in San Diego and some of the people worried that the Japs would attack there as it was a major naval base. My buddies and I killed hundreds of Japs in the canyons below o...

Definitely not an American sword. All U.S. swords had finger/hand guards, this one does not have one. Scabbard does appear to be more European than Oriental though.

They might want to watch for a trademark infringment. Superformance is a trademark name of a South African Shelby AC Cobra reproduction auto manufacturer. Wonder if they checked?

BRRRR!

Over a long period of time you might do some damage to the 45/90 chamber in front of the 45/70 case. But that would be an awful lot of shooting, so I wouldn't worry about that much. Just as long as you don't let any fouling accumulate foward of the 45/70 case that could stick a 45/90 case later.

Gun Smith

A very simple tool is two pieces of 1/8" square stock about 3-4" long. Set one in the rear barrel dovetail and the other in the slot you are cutting. Simply sight between the two to parallel each other as you cut. No need to be perfectly level in your vise.

I consider myself lucky with my back even though I have major Osteoporosis. It does get sore often, as most do, but in my case it actually has broken three times. Now you want to talk about major pain! But what's great about a clean break as opposed to most continuing back problems is they can epoxy...

I have mentioned this before I'm sure. Back in the day one of my customers was E.S. Gardiner (Perry Mason) author. I took several of his wheel guns and milled the top strap and installed a tab, think narrow sight slot blank, with a small aperture sight silver soldered onto it. Now days I see it call...

In 45 ACP you're going to have to squeeze that little grip good and tight though!

27 degrees this AM on the central Oregon coast. It'll come up to 45-50 today. I sure don't miss those AM's in N. California of 10-15 degrees as I headed out to a house I'd be framing. Done with all that, thank God!

Neither wife or daughter has any interest in any of my guns. I'm sure they will be sold before my body cools.

Gun Smith

Sell one to buy one. That's been the only way I can play. But over the years adding a few bucks to each new purchase, plus my sale, and I have upgraded my collection a lot. Remember, this is a HOBBY, not an investment club. You don't make money with most hobbies. It's more fun for me than booze or g...

It seems that me that selling your gun and buying a bull barrel model would be best. Might be the cheapest, simplest way to solve your problem and not have something kind of cobbled up . Just my $.02 worth.

Not sure about a program out there. Remember a man with two watches never knows the time.

It's pretty obvious this is another photographer's studio picture. The props are all too new and unrealistic for any real use. I doubt the "leather" is nothing more than oil finished cloth, similar to what was used on table cloths. In film terminology this would be known as a gallery print...

Just look forward to the $1000.00 crown next month. Enjoy Thanksgiving now and start saving for your "Christmas" present.

OK, we've all had our fun. Now lets get serious! What is the revolver in the "holster"? I'm thinking a British Bulldog type, or maybe a Belgiun double action of some sort.

When I was gunsmithing the second most common rifle to sporterize was the 03 or 03A3. Mauser 98 was the most common. Anything from recoil pads to cutting down the forestock and tossing the handguard to all out customs. We were aware of the weak action caution and did not recommend any magnum caliber...

Re. Gary Burgoff. I saw him one year at the Reno gunshow strooling around trying to sell a couple of paintings. The feeling I got was "I'm Gary urgoff, a famous TV star, buy my funky amateur painting". Now I WOULD buy a Winchester M.92 owned by John Wayne and pay a little more, but not som...

I didn't want to step on the Condor/bullet thread, but I have a question. Is there any 22 rim fire ammo available that is solid copper/(or)whatever in California the allows you to hunt varmints, Jackrabbits, ground squirrels, etc. in Condor zones?

Gun Smith

Thanks, El Chivo, that looks pretty simple to me. You need both to break the law. But the way most bureaucrats can screw up anything, so I'd still be very careful about the inventory in my rig when I hit a Condor restricted area.

Gun Smith

I looked up the law. It says no lead ammo may be used in a protected zone for any type of hunting. It does say ammo and rifle to fit. I does not say and/or rifle to fit.

Gun Smith

Over 293,000 M. 95's were produced for the Russian government. 7 out of 9 in fact, (approx. 78%) of all M.95's.

Gun Smith

Does the law say no lead bullets in possession in a hunting zone, period. Then it will be illegal regardless of the caliber or lack of rifle in that caliber.

My wife knows "0" about guns. What I have done is to have an inventory, on paper, of my collection with current fair market prices that I update as necessary. My best friend, who is a bit younger than me, has agreed to sell off the collection for her when the time comes. He can use this in...

Mr. Caruso's acting range is limited to putting his hands on his hips and looking under the chin of all the other actors. I think he has a chin fetish.

A word about transmissions. I owned a transmission shop at one time so I am somewhat knowledgable about them. The killer of automatics is HEAT! To prolong the life of an auto, you need to remember two things: NEVER tow in overdrive, and never let the tranny get over heated, even it it requires stopp...

I have trouble watching any cop/techical/lab shows. They have so many errors that it takes the fun out of the story. Why can't these producers hire techical experts to guide the writers to, at least, get simple facts right. One of the best was an early CSI show where the killer buried a women in a 6...

The mounting of the front sight on the band is probably less expensive and saves a bit of barrel work too.

The "cartridge conversions" is a very useful list too.

You didn't say wheather you are starting with a clean barrel each range session. Maybe starting your grouping shots with a dirty bore will solve the problem.

Sorry Hobie, I'm a little further in the book, ---- Roger Patterson died January 15, 1972. The author of the book I'm reading, "Anatomy of a Beast", Michael McLeod stated he spoke with several of Patterson's friends about the film being true. Patterson did not recant the film as being fake...

Actually that 1" over at 50 yds may be close to where you want it at 100, as the bullet is still going up in relation to the sights at 50.
